Hendersonville's first "Blooming Where You Are Planted Seminar" will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, April 5, at Pinecrest Presbyterian Church, U.S. 25S at Highland Lake Road, Flat Rock. A program of welcome and information for newcomers, "Blooming Where You Are Planted" is a high energy, interactive, one-day seminar packed full of "insider" information, area history, hands-on workshops, goodie bags, games and door prizes.

Throughout the morning, participants move about attending lectures and workshops led by local artisans, historians, storytellers and people "in-the-know" about the Hendersonville/Flat Rock area. At mid day, a sit down luncheon will be provided by "Bloom" volunteers. The day ends with a drawing for the grand prize, and a special departing gift for each participants.

Originally a popular event of the American Church in Paris, in 1989 "Bloom" grew to become an official program of the Armed Services YMCA helping to successfully relocate military, foreign service, missionary and ex-pat families around the world. Today, via the outreach programs of local churches and community support, "Bloom" continues to help families quickly and easily reestablish themselves through citywide programs of welcome and information.

A refundable, $5 registration fee holds a place at this limited seating event. All seats are on a first-come, first-served basis. For information or registration, call 692-2020 or 697-9881.
